6. Fixture Cleaning

The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out

periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in

which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater

accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.

y Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.

y Always dry the parts carefully.

y Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every

30/60 days.

5. Troubleshooting

Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are

some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work

1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.

2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.

3. Check the power on LED.

B. Not responding to DMX controller

1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.

2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and

DMX polarity.

3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB

of the unit or the previous one.

4. Try to use another DMX controller.

5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may

cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.

C. Some units don’t respond to the easy controller

1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the

master/ slave mode signal.

2. Wrong DMX address in the unit. Set the proper address.

D. No response to the sound

1. Make sure the unit does not receive DMX signal.

2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone

E. One of the channels is not working well

1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.

2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition

11-

1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin

adapter-cable.

2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm

1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it

in the DMX-output of the last unit.

3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to

the input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is

a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded

connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.

4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit,

when power is disconnected to the unit.

5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the

controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).

6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.

7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.

3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

Pin 4/5: Not used.

y The housing, the lenses, or the ultraviolet filter must be replaced if they are visibly

damaged.

Caution

There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt

any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact

your nearest dealer.

Installation

The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the

unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the

structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 20

kg for each unit.

4.4 DMX 512 Configuration

4.5 DMX512 Connection

The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.

4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function

By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to

give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you

want an instant show.

2-light show

In (slave mode), means the unit works normally and means

2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can set

on the second unit to

get contrast movement to each other, even if you have two units only.

4.2 Easy Controller

The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By connecting to the 1/4”

microphone jack of the first unit, you will find that the remote control on the first unit will

control all the other units functions press the MENU button again.
